MIAMI — Miami-Dade police are searching for two men impersonating officers who shot a man during a robbery in South Florida.

Authorities say a man and woman were pulled over by a dark colored car with flashing red and blue lights on the dashboard Thursday. The man was ordered out of the car and asked to place his hands on the trunk of his car. A man then approached him and placed a pistol to his head, taking his property. Police did not immediately release what was taken.

Police say a struggle ensued and a second police impersonator ran over, hit the man with a bat and shot him in the back. He placed the revolver to the man's head and pulled the trigger, but there were no more live rounds.

Both men fled. The man drove himself to the hospital and was released.
